Clay: I don't know why it took so long for Democrats to get to see Joe Biden with all his weaknesses so on display, but now we have and it's not a rabbit that can be stuffed back inside the hat. It only took me about two minutes in the farce debate to realize that Joe just doesn't have any business running as our candidate for the presidency. Then I turned it off. Now we're hearing from HIS own team that Joe is a victim of "sundowning": he functions pretty well between the hours of noon and six, but the rest of the time he's not quite with it. Why would it be Biden's team that pushed for this ill-conceived debate when they have seen his physical and cognitive decline up close and personal for lo these past four years! Heads should roll! Like so many lifelong Democrats, run out that mangy old yellow dog and I'll vote for him...especially when the enemy is that most craven of "things", drumpf. So if Biden is our candidate, I'll vote for him. If Kamala is our candidate I will joyfully vote for her. If Gavin or Gretchen is the candidate, I will vote for him/her. But these decisions have to be made quickly in order to impact those voters who will likely determine this election: the Independents and less likely voters. The Swing Vote.

But for unanswered questions, I simply cannot get away from this: Why oh why does an 81 year old man WANT to continue working? He's served his time for this nation. Allow the old guy to ride off into the sunset without forcing him through the intense mental and physical process that a presidential run entails. Joe Biden deserves it...and we the people deserve it.
